I reported a similar bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375132) which has been marked as a duplicate of this one.
My system is a Toshiba A305-S6894 laptop, currently running Jaunty i386 (but noticed very similar behaviour running 64-bit version).

The easiest workaround I've found is to suspend to ram and then to restore, the fan starts to spin normally after restoring and keeps the system reasonably cool.

I'm sure the good guys at Canonical are doing the best they can to solve this.
